Sometimes you come across some amazing history while geocaching. Like what happened here over one hundred years ago. Find the plaque, read up on the amazing events, then head to the cache at a nearby site where the same thing happened just three short years later. You would have thought they would have learned from such recent history, but... nooo.
I am not going to spoil the surprise by revealing any of the story here, make sure your logs do not spoil the visit for others. Instead... make up something! My version: here was the first recorded UFO crash in NZ. The second one 3 years later led to fears of an invasion, and it was these that were the inspiration behind H. G. Wells' famous radio play.
The cache is at: S41° 25.ABC E173° 01.DEF
Where:
A = Sum lengths of last four words, then divide by two
B = Number of words divided by 4
C = Number of points on graphical elements
D = 3rd digit x 2
E = Last digit
F = 2nd digit minus 3rd digit
(Do not count the digits as a word)
Ʃ(A~F) = 46
I know you are going to ask, so... yes - I have checked the math! Don't over-think this - it is a simple, bog-standard, read-a-sign-and-plug-in-the-numbers multi.
Some people will over-think this. If you are one, here is a geochecker to help you.
